Earlier in the day, the 28-year-old singer-actor announced his marriage plan with Kim on Super Junior’s official hompage, aplogizing to his fans that they first heard the news through news reports.

“I met a good woman and will marry her on Dec. 13. I am heartbroken that you might have been perplexed and surprised about the news,” Sungmin wrote on the website.


“The news went viral while I was thinking about how to tell you, E.L.F, my precious friends and those who love me. I wanted to let you know myself. I am really sorry that you had to find out about it through the reports.”

Sungmin expressed appreciation to the fans who have been supporting him. He also thanked his bandmates and his label SM Entertainment for respecting his decision.

The two first met as costars in the musical “The Three Musketeers” late last year. Their friendship evolved into romance, and they made their relationship public in late September.

The 28-year-old idol said he will continue to pursue activities as a member of Super Junior even after marriage.
